SIR: Did % evri occur t. you that other
national r,uucs were lr.- complicated
than American poiitir~2
I have often tnuught of this when in
Europe. II il If true, cannot the reason
be found in the presence here Of foreign
influence
Americans are very good natured, and
conscious Of powerrcertainly Il happy
state to be in regarding other powers ; but
may we not he too confident, even though
we are powerful nation?
Washington in his farewell address gave
us the following warning:
against the insdious wiles of foreign
influence q conjure you to believe me, fel-
low citizeus,) the jealousy of Il free people
ought to be constantly awake, since his
tory aud experience prove that foreign
influence is one OF the most baneful foe,
of republican government"
When engaged in social intercourse
with our English friends, It seems narrow
and mean to question their good inten-
lions. They are iirs-r fellows, but
from national point of view with them
every time "businesS is business. On
the ID Of June, 1872 in the United states
Congress the committee ON foreign rela-
tiuns made "A report After rcCiting tho
